What are custom battery management systems
A custom battery management system (BMS) is purpose designed to your application’s specific needs.
Custom intelligent / Smart Battery management systems primarily protect your battery pack while monitoring and performing key functions such as temperature, state of charge, and cell balancing as well as application specific monitoring and communication.
Why do you need a custom battery management system
In an ever-advancing technological world, connectivity, data, and monitoring are key. Our custom Battery Management systems improve the longevity of your batteries whilst also helping to catch and prevent any faults that may occur in the battery itself and communicating this to the host device or the user, mission critical systems requiring portable power storage require the use of custom BMS technologies that provide protection and device communication, as well as power.
Some mission critical applications could include:
Powered Air Personal Respirator (PAPR)Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)Chemical DetectorsDefibrillatorsMedical devices
Custom Battery Management systems also help to prevent the use of counterfeit batteries. It is in a company’s best interest to not risk the damage of their name and reputation by utilizing counterfeit, off-brand, imitation batteries within their devices. To avoid this issue, Alexander Battery Technologies implements customized battery encryption within the BMS.
The encryption provides advanced protection against the use of dangerous, counterfeit battery packs within a device.Once implemented within the BMS, encryption only allows the use of a battery pack with compatible encryption within your product.
How can we help you with custom battery management systems
By engaging Alexander battery Technologies during the early stages of your battery development we fully manage the battery design elements of your project. We work with your engineers to mitigate risk within the design process and throughout production, leading to a safer, more efficient, and more effective custom battery system.
